Lafayette, CO
What Our Editors Thought
“Fruity notes push ahead of smoke in the nose. A rich, sweetish body backed by sharper coffee notes adds a clever structure that doesn’t overpower. Lingering grape notes.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Herbaceous nose, lightly smoky, with charred bread, hint of chocolate, vanilla maltiness. Flavor has a nice caramel-toffee backbone, supporting moderate roast, leaning toward chocolate and slightly acrid coffee. Low smoky notes. Velvety smooth mouthfeel.”
What the Brewers Say
“This Baltic-style porter is a balance of chocolate, caramel, smoke, roast.”
